Use that TPMS on your trip to the Rally. Keep a very close eye on the tire temps and pressure. If you have anything approaching or over a 10 psi increase in tire pressure it could mean that your tires are underinflated. Remember - it is high tire temp that kills most tires and generally degrades a tire from the inside to the outside. Obviously, you must also keep in mind other conditions such as the road surface (a concrete surface will generally be cooler than a black top surface), the "crown" of the road (the tires on the lower side of the crown will generally run a bit warmer than the tires on the high side), the sun ( the tires on the side of the camper that are in the sun will run hotter than those in the shade), etc. Also keep in mind that the tire temps you should be most concerned with are the "cold" tire temps. That is your base line. Tire manufacturers allow for the natural increase in tire pressure in the construction of the tire. Even when a tire that has a maximum pressure rating of 80psi (cold) goes over that pressure during "normal" operation it is (most likely) within design specifications. Bill p.s. Have a safe trip over to the Rally! Can't wait to say hello!

Its hard to tell from the pic above and/or the Google pics but particularly in the rain the awning should be slanted such that the rain can more easily run off and not "puddle" on the awning itself. Usually the low side of the slant would be at the end closest to the rear of the camper. Bill

Could be one - or the other - or both. Easy way to check the cable is to take a look at the end of the cable nearest the valve. Is the cable securely attached where it should be? If there is any sign of looseness, just pull the cable tight and tighten the screw holding the cable to the valve. I assume that you have done a complete and through "flush" of the tank you are having trouble with? If not, do this before you add the valve lube. Bill

"Maybe" ?????????

not yet after over 7 years. Bill

By the sounds of it you probably do not want to wait this long - but - I will be on the East side of Kansas City and/or overnight in St. Joe on July 6th. And, I'd be more than happy to show you Twist (an LEII). Bill

Second dibs if you decide to not use it. Bill

A harder tire will have less sidewall flex and, therefore, run cooler than a tire that has less air pressure and thus more sidewall flex. Heat in a tire is one of the main causes of failure. Additionally, higher tire pressures are required for increased load on the tires. So, if you want to carry the maximum load that a tire was designed for then you must also inflate that tire to its maximum tire pressure as recommended for its manufacturer. Bill

There have been a number of owners that have taken that seal off and left it off primarily due to having difficulty in cleaning the area on the roof behind it. Obviously, if you remove and then don't replace it, there might be a fair amount of water that will run down the side of the trailer when it rains. This just might obviate the use of the awning during a shower. For what its worth - I've still got the original seal up there, have not had difficulty keeping the roof behind it clean and have enjoyed a few beverages while sitting under my awning during a light rain. Bill

I thought that THIS was a secret. Just wait around for THAT knock on the door at zero dark thirty! It will normally be General ScubaRX doing the inspection - don't even think about giving him the ol' "side eye". And, yes, it is white glove! 😜

I assume that you have contacted Oliver Service?

I've got the original EZE stuff - but - I found THIS that looks like the same stuff. Good luck! Bill

In the interest of full disclosure - I'm sure that you fully advised Magnus of his rights and that he is now being followed 24/7?

Another interesting note relative to the pause in Oliver Travel Trailer production - Not one Oliver employee was laid off during this period - they were simply transferred over to other areas of the company - another reason why there is so much to like about this Family. Bill

not for long

Good luck on that one - since Michelin doesn't make them for a 16 inch wheel anymore. THAT is the reason that Oliver changed tire manufacturers. Bill p.s. please be very careful on tires of that age - they may look perfect on the outside but you really can not see what's going on inside the tire.

And - now you can see it both coming and going (or left and right?) Looks good either way. Bill

Well - that certainly clears it up!😜

Besides - How else are you going to feed the dogs that live in there?😁

Are you guys speaking English? 🤔

Yet another example of why one should "tether" that cover to the Ollie. Bill

A PM to Bugeyedriver will set you free!

Also, place some painters tape or masking tape on the gelcoat.

Does Dolly know Liv and Bosker?

Make sure that he is pointed in the correct direction when this happens - the propane detector is fairly sensitive!😁
